[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Request for Proper Outdoor Garbage Receptacles Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a pressing concern regarding the absence of proper outdoor garbage receptacles in our rental property at [Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is essential to maintain a clean and sanitary living environment both for myself and my fellow residents. Firstly, I would like to express my satisfaction with the overall condition and management of the property. However, the lack of suitable garbage receptacles is becoming increasingly problematic. Currently, the absence of designated areas for garbage disposal is resulting in several unwanted issues, including but not limited to: 1. Uncontrolled waste disposal: Without proper receptacles, tenants are forced to leave their garbage near the rental units or in inappropriate locations, leading to unattractive and unsightly surroundings. This not only compromises the aesthetics of the property but also attracts pests, such as rodents and insects, which pose health risks to residents. 2. Health and safety concerns: Improper disposal of waste materials creates an unhygienic living environment. Accumulated garbage emits foul odors, which not only cause discomfort but may also become a breeding ground for bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Consequently, these conditions may invite various health issues for us as tenants. 3. Violation of local regulations: The absence of designated garbage receptacles may be in violation of local health and sanitation regulations, thereby exposing both tenants and landlords to potential legal consequences. It is imperative that we adhere to all relevant regulations to ensure a safe and compliant living environment. Based on the aforementioned issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to provide proper outdoor garbage receptacles for our rental property. By doing so, we can mitigate the associated concerns and maintain a clean and healthy living environment. I suggest considering the following options, based on the specific needs and layout of our property: 1. Outdoor Trash Bins: Placing sturdy and secure trash bins in designated areas will encourage tenants to dispose of their waste appropriately. These bins should be of an adequate size to accommodate the average amount of garbage generated by the residents. 2. Recycling Bins: Providing separate recycling bins will enable tenants to dispose of recyclable materials properly, thereby promoting environmental sustainability. This demonstrates a commitment to responsible waste management while complying with recycling regulations. 3. Regular Garbage Collection: In conjunction with the installation of proper receptacles, ensuring regular garbage collection services will be crucial. Timely trash pickup will prevent overflow and maintain a tidy appearance, reducing potential health hazards. I understand that as a landlord, you have the same vested interest in maintaining the value and appeal of our property. I believe that by addressing this issue promptly, we can foster a positive living experience for all tenants. Furthermore, I kindly request a response within 10 business days to discuss the implementation of the suggested solutions. If necessary, I am open to further dialogue to find an agreeable resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. I look forward to your prompt response and collaborative efforts to ensure a cleaner and healthier living environment for all residents.
